TRANSCRIPT
SEARCH for Christian Maturity, or as we call it, “SEARCH,” is a weekend
retreat for rising juniors and seniors in the Diocese of Nashville.
SEARCH uses peer-to-peer, or “youth talking to youth” ministry to foster an
environment of acceptance & encouragement. Our teen led
teams provide an opportunity for the Holy Spirit to help us all grow closer
to Christ.
SEARCHERS will have the incredible opportunity to celebrate Mass
together & be renewed through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.
While SEARCH has helped thousands of teens grow closer to Christ, please
understand it is not designed to correct morals or unstable
school/family life.
Last year, we had 341 students from across Middle Tennessee make SEARCH—from 45 different high
schools and 37 different parishes! Chances are, someone from your
school or parish already made SEARCH!
“When you look for me,
you will find me. Yes, when you seek me
with all your heart.” Jeremiah 29:13
- T R U S T - Sharing our experiences—good,
bad, & divine—helps form a foundation for the SEARCH
community that has been growing for the last 43 years in our diocese.
Our SEARCH Team is trained to help foster a healthy atmosphere of
Christian trust. “Be strong & take heart, all who trust
in the Lord.” Psalm 31:25
- C O M M U N I T Y - Placing ourselves a little ways
outside our personal comfort zones will allow the doors of community to
fly wide open! Discover how incredible our faith community is here in Middle Tennessee, just a
small chunk of the Universal Church! “Beloved, if God so loved us, we
also must love one another.” 1 John 4:11
- P R A Y E R -
In the world of texts, tweets, and all things tech, it is more and more
difficult to silence ourselves and just listen to God, our Father. At
SEARCH, we provide many different opportunities for individual and
group prayer. “Be still and know that I am God”
Psalm 46:11

- Our Story - Fr. Ed Arnold brought SEARCH to our diocese from San Mateo, California.
SEARCH is a youth version of the Cursillo Movement, another strong retreat program here in Nashville. Fr. Arnold and the first team held
SEARCH #1 in April 1971.
In the 43 years since then, we’ve had almost 12,000 youth of our
diocese participate in the program. May God continue to bless the
youth of Middle Tennessee with this incredible retreat opportunity of
conversion & growth in the light of Christ.
“I am the W A Y &
the T R U T H & the L I F E...
If you know me, then you will also know my
